Should the Commissioners proceed to a procurement process it is anticipated to consist of two stages: (1) Stage 1 shortlisting stage to test the capability and capacity of potential provider collaboratives and to identify whether there is more than one capable provider alliance; (2) Stage 2 will either be: (a) a competitive process (if more than one capable provider alliance is identified at Stage 1), which may involve dialogue and will involve assessment of bids against published evaluation criteria and weightings; or (b) an alliance "Assurance Process" with a single provider, if only one capable provider alliance is identified at Stage 1. Both approaches will involve evidence being considered by subject matter experts and assessed against critical success factors and expected minimum standards. Additional information: The services are health and social care services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations but are instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime". For the avoidance of doubt, the Commissioners will not be bound by the Regulations or any other regulations or legislation except for the specific parts or circumstances that apply to the procurement of these Services.

Renewal: Three year contract with the option to extend for two further twelve month periods
